Brief Description
Pink blossoms and white flowers on dark branches with green leaves and shadowy foliage
Detailed Description
A dense arrangement of flowering branches and foliage is depicted against a light, unpainted background. The central focus is a large branch extending from the upper left, curving downwards and across the middle of the composition towards the right. This main branch, along with several smaller ones, is rendered in varying shades of dark grey and brown. Clusters of pink blossoms, each with five petals, are abundant along these branches, painted with soft, translucent pink washes and some darker pink accents. Interspersed among the pink flowers are smaller clusters of delicate white or very pale yellow flowers, often accompanied by tiny green leaves. Muted, slightly bluish-green leaves are scattered along the branches. In the lower left quadrant, large, amorphous shapes of dark grey wash suggest rocks or dense, shadowy foliage, from which some branches and green blades emerge. To the right of these dark grey forms, and extending towards the lower right, are long, thin, upright green blades, resembling grass or reeds, painted with the same muted green. A small, square red seal with dark characters is visible in the upper left corner.
